Johan, Filip, Lars, Tony (I got four first names as well!)

Look at those Viking names! (Well two of them anyway (Johan and Lars))

Thor




You know that it was not allowed to name boys Thor or Tor in the Viking days, because of the God Thor (Tor). It was usually along names like Torbjörn and such.

Stein is a German name too.
Hence the modern day germans are the reïncarnations of the old vikings.

When it comes to history of names, the name Jacek (or Jack in eng) comes from the greek mythology - from a god called Hiakintos. The bad thing is, that he's supposed to be one of the first manlubbers mentioned in literature (a close "friend" of Apollo)


NO NO NO!!! I have a wife!!! Don't even think that!!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoagie

A story of the origin of the name 'hoagie' is that, during World War I, a shipyard located on Hog Island in the Delaware River south of Philadelphia employed many Italian immigrants as shipbuilders; their wives would pack them large sandwiches packed with various meats and cheeses. An out of work Philadelphian named Al DePalma went to the island to find work, and noticed the workers eating the giant sandwiches. Mr. DePalma observed that the workers looked like "a bunch of hogs", and ended up opening a luncheonette that served the sandwiches; thus the "hoggie" or "hoagie" was born.

*Giggles*

Hoagie is a submarine sandwich!

Damn tasty one at that!
